Ramping up its slate of specialist factual programming, Terra Mater Studios is currently releasing and producing a nice mix of one-offs as well as limited series. Current and upcoming release highlights include the three-parters Scotland\u2014The New Wild<\/em>, A Cheetah\u2019s Pride<\/em> and The Wild Sides<\/em>, which has just been picked up by National Geographic channels internationally as a presale. At the same time, the company\u2019s one-offs are presenting and investigating dedicated topics, be it digging into weather phenomena, the changing world as a whole or the circle of life at a specific place, with titles such as The Storm\u2014Wildlife in Wild Weather<\/em>, Nature\u2019s Changes <\/em>and Morava\u2014River of Ancient Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current state of our world demands feel-good stories sprinkled with some serious, encouraging nods,\u201d says Sabine Holzer, head of specialist factual. \u201cTerra Mater Studios\u2019 blue-chip portfolio is in ongoing high demand\u2014as awards, sales and rating numbers for titles such as The Hummingbird Effect<\/em> and Treasure of the Caribbean<\/em> clearly show. However, we also encourage discussing more inconvenient topics\u2014our changing climate, nature in distress and humans on the quest for solutions, as shown in titles such as Healthy Cities\u2014More Than Human<\/em>, Dethroned<\/em> and Future Home<\/em>. The question is: Are TV channels brave enough to broadcast these important topics and to push the marketing to reach high viewer numbers?\u201d<\/p>\n

The company is gearing up for MIPCOM with a slate that includes Raptors<\/em>, which looks at the large predator birds. The project saw Terra Mater Studios again working with Matt Hamilton, with whom it has produced many multi-awarded programs in the past, including Amazing Pigs<\/em>, Santa\u2019s Wild Home<\/em> and Borneo\u2014Earth\u2019s Ancient Isle<\/em>. \u201cThe two-parter reveals the ways in which birds of prey have come to dominate the planet, kill for a living and inspire both fear and wonder,\u201d explains Holzer. \u201cAlongside astonishing visuals, insights and behaviors, we even introduce you to a new, rather surprising, member of the raptors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaguar Beach<\/em> is a one-off, first-of-its-kind film rooted in an intimate jaguar family story. It uses the latest camera technology to explore the complex lives of these mysterious and powerful cats as they navigate the unique environment between the forest and the sea, mating, rearing cubs and learning to hunt in an unusual way. For this film, Terra Mater Studios teamed up again with Coneflower Studios\u2019 Ann Johnson Prum, most recently known for award-winning films such as The Hummingbird Effect<\/em> and Sex, Lies and Butterflies<\/em>, co-produced by HHMI Tangled Bank Studios and The WNET Group.<\/p>\n

Europe\u2019s Amazon<\/em> takes viewers into a magical world where the rivers Danube and Drava meet, into Central Europe\u2019s inland delta. \u201cThe makers of this film have grown up, lived and worked along this still secret gem of the river,\u201d Holzer says. \u201cBeing familiar with some of the great rivers of the planet, including the Amazon, the comparison they draw reveals the Drava\u2019s unique and fascinating character and uncovers many of its hidden treasures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holzer notes that Dethroned<\/em> will be \u201ca tough 50 minutes to digest, but ultimately worth it.\u201d The film is a story of rediscovery, following photojournalist Aaron Gekoski across the planet in an attempt to uncover where we have parted ways with the big cats and what could happen if we continue to allow these creatures to be traded, commodified and enslaved.<\/p>\n

\u201cTerra Mater Studios continues to produce premium natural history, science and history programming, and we\u2019re backed up by a triple-digit number of awards over the last decade,\u201d Holzer says. \u201cFrom the beginning, we\u2019ve only ever worked with the best and continue to do so\u2014and it shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Its slate of future projects features a mix of topics that cater to a family audience. Titles include The Philippines<\/em>, looking at how rising sea levels are impacting the nation; American Amazon<\/em>, a natural history adventure through the wilderness in North America; The Nature of Christmas<\/em>, exploring the connection between animals, plants and mystical landscapes with this beloved holiday; Kui Buri\u2014Recreating Paradise<\/em>, about a national park in Thailand; Healthy Cities\u2014More Than Human<\/em>, which looks at urban biodiversity, human health and other hot topics; Wild Vienna<\/em>, taking a closer look at the animals of Austria\u2019s capital; and Wild San Diego<\/em>, spotlighting the diverse wildlife of the American city. \u201cWe\u2019re always looking for co-production partners,\u201d Holzer adds.<\/p>\n
